Although he was dissatisfied with his brothers and parents, Qi Lang always thought about his feelings for so many years, always thinking that these people were his relatives, and knowing that he was sick, he would more or less come to his house to see him.

But when it came to the evening, Qi Bo and his parents did not come, and Qi Lang's heart, like the evening sun, sank little by little.

He limped to Qi Laosan's house, and when he entered the courtyard, he saw Qi Laosan's family eating.

"Lang, why are you here? Your leg is healed?" Qi Dafu saw his second son, his eyes were weak, he stared at Qi Lang's waist, and said.

He wanted to see Qi Lang and was worried about Qi Lang, but he didn't have much money on him, and he was afraid that Qi Lang would ask him for money, so he simply listened to the old woman and pretended to be a quail.

"Dad, brother, where are you eating?"

"Yes, have you eaten? You have a lot of daughters, you must be eating with Qi Yang and them, look at me. Qi Bo smiled.

"Big brother, in fact, I don't care about your food, but each family has its own difficulties, you say once or twice is okay, how can you get it after a long time? You also have to see my difficulties. And I think you're still pretty good now, it's not like Qi Yang said that you can't move while lying on the bed, you have no problem cooking by yourself like this, where do you need someone to take care of you. Qi Bo suspected that Qi Lang was pretending to be sick, his mother-in-law was gone, and he didn't want to cook, so he deliberately took advantage of his family.

"I know, I'm useless, you don't look down on me as a brother, I don't expect you to look at me more when I come over this time, my brother is older, my heart is bigger, my parents and I don't beat around the bush, this time I want to get the money back from my mother." ”

"Money, what kind of money?" Ding Guilan didn't expect Qi Lang to be so direct, so he actually said money. "Lang, you're not mistaken, do you want to take all the pension money for your parents?" Ding Guilan was stunned.

Qi Lang came in, he didn't close the door deliberately, the door of Qi Bo's house was open, and Ding Guilan's voice directly made the neighbor next door curiously climb the root of the wall and look over.

"Mom, how could I ask for your pension money? Haven't I always put my money with you all these years, it is the dowry saved for Qi Yang's sister and brother and the money for marrying a daughter-in-law in the future, you said that Liu Yang went to her mother's house, and Lou Lou brought all the money to her mother's house, let me put the money here for you, I have been doing this for so many years, you won't forget it, right?" Qi Lang's heart sank.

"Lang, I only know that you said that the money was for me and your father to support the elderly, when did you say that it was for Qi Yang's dowry and daughter-in-law?

The conscience of heaven and earth, this is to force the old lady to death, the big guy come and see, obviously it is the pension money for our old couple, and now it is actually the dowry money for the Qi Yang sisters and brothers, are you joking with me?"

Ding Guilan cried when she said she would cry, and suddenly she slapped her thigh and sat on the ground and cried.

Summoned all the people in the village.

"Qi Lang, how much money did you give your mother, since it is pension money, is it given by several brothers together?"

Qi Lang gave the money to the old lady every time he came back from the sea, and his daughter-in-law couldn't get a penny, and several children were the most shabby in the village, and sometimes they couldn't even eat enough. These Qi Lang don't know.

Now Qi Lang asked Ding Guixiang for money, and the big guy knew that Qi Lang did not give the money to Ding Guixiang, but stored it in Ding Guixiang for the children's dowry and the daughter-in-law.

Thinking about it in this way, everyone thinks it is reasonable, otherwise where would a normal man not care about his family? Give all the money to the old lady to spend, and let the daughter-in-law and children go hungry and live a hard life?

But now Ding Guixiang has obviously different statements, and this matter has become Rashomon for a while.

But there are also shrewd and powerful, and they immediately caught the essence of Ding Guixiang's words, if Qi Lang gave all the money to the old lady to support the elderly, would the rest of the brothers take out this money?

"I opened a village commissary, not like the second brother's family to make money, the eldest brother's family can't take care of his father, the second brother is a filial piety, so he said that the money was spent on the old lady, but I didn't expect the second brother to change when he said that he would change.

Second brother, I know that you are sick because you are worried that you will not have the money to see a doctor, but you can't treat your parents like this, can you? They are all so old. Qi Laosan stepped forward.

"Qi Laosan, being a man has to be conscientious, when did I say those words? Back then, it was Liu Yang who reminded me that my parents couldn't see the money subsidy and asked me to put the money here for them.

I just put it here with my parents, the pension money was not negotiated with our three brothers at the beginning, it was originally twenty or thirty yuan, the year before last, we added our salaries, my parents proposed to come to the family to provide for the elderly, I and my eldest brother give fifty yuan a month, two thousand two a year, food and accommodation in your house, your family does not have to provide for the elderly, I have been to the sea for so many years, every account can be remembered clearly, even if no matter how filial piety is possible, it is impossible to put more than 16,000 yuan in the parents as a pension. ”

When Qi Lang said this, the people in the village gasped. The pension of 200 yuan a year for the elderly in the village is good, and the people who go out to sea to fish have more money, and the average family has a few tens of yuan a month is considered filial piety to their descendants.

And Qi Lang is the first mate on the ship, and now the ship is a lump sum system, at least more than 200 a month, which is higher than the salary of other occupations, even if it is less in the past few years, but more than 16,000 yuan in the past ten years.

"Where did you give me so much money, I might as well die, this is my son who wants to force the old lady to death, even if I am a cow and a horse, I can't be greedy for so much money, if I have so much money on me, let me thunder and kill me." Ding Guixiang howled.

Hearing Ding Guixiang howl like this, some older people in the village sympathized with Ding Guixiang. Anyway, Ding Guixiang raised Qi Lang, and it was impossible for Ding Guixiang to swear if she really took so much money.

"Grandma, Dad didn't give you the money, but he didn't take the money home either, so where did Dad put the money for so many years?

My uncle said that I don't make much money, but my house is still an adobe house, and my uncle's house has been built a building a long time ago, is my uncle's shop really such a good business?

It can't be that grandma lent her father's money to her uncle and forgot it? If so, grandma's oath just now doesn't count, and grandma really doesn't have so much money on her. ”

Qi Yang's sisters went home and saw that Qi Lang was not at home, and Qi Laosan's family was lively, so they guessed that Qi Lang had come here to ask for the money at his grandmother's house.

I just heard Ding Guilan swearing there. So Zisha spoke.

"You little prodigal hoof, how much money do you know in my family, adults talk, do you have the right for your children to interject?" Xu Zhaodi saw that she was pierced by Qi Sha, and hurriedly became angry.

"Is that so? Do the third aunt dare to swear an oath here? Say that your house was not built with our family's money, and if you spend my family's money, your nose and eyes will be crooked. Qi Xuan came to Xu Zhaodi with a smile.
